Skyfall
(2012, Sam Mendes)
Daniel Craig returns in another solid James Bond film. Not a whole lot of new territory is covered but Javier Bardem is always awesome as a bad guy. This film strips things back to a simpler more traditional Bond adventure. (6/7)

Cloud Atlas
(2012, Tom Twyker and The Wachowskis)
This could have been so cool. The trailer made me cry. Then I watched the movie. It has its moments and the idea of using the same actors and actresses for all the rolls was an interesting one-- but the gimmick was distracting. Not especially amazing nor moving. The acting overall was decent and there were especially good performances from Doona Bae and Xun Zhou. It seems like this film could have been edited differently and it might have had more resonance. Hrm. (4/7)
